Cordless drills are handy tools for drilling or boring holes. It is becoming more popular because it is portable and easy to use. A job is done accurately in a short time. There is a wide selection of models, one is guaranteed to match your preferences and needs.

When looking for a cordless drill, there are major factors you have to look into. These are the basics of a drill. The other features are just extra. Most often, people look at the physical attributes of a tool. This includes the color, size, and classy look overall. However, the more important things to consider are inside it. This includes the functionality and performance.

The power level is one of the most important things to consider. It ranges from 2 to 24 volts. 12 volts cordless drill is adequate for normal woodworking activities. The heavier the materials to be drilled, the higher the volt required. Remember, sufficient power is necessary to achieve a desired result. Otherwise, boring holes will be quite difficult.

If the unit you are looking into is run on batteries, check the battery life. It differs from one drill to another. The lithium-ion type of batteries is more expensive yet most recommended. It keeps the charging level intact for a longer period of time and can survive a colder temperature.Fein MultiMaster 250Q

NiMH batteries can also work better like a lithium-ion and are environment friendly as well. On the other hand, NiCad batteries can function well in cold climates. Getting two batteries with a 15 minute fast charger is a good consideration.

Next, check the torque. Torque is the standard measure of the twisting force amount applied to the drill. It is suitable when tightening screws into a metal. A cordless drill usually has 17 torque settings to make it more versatile to different kinds of house works. Likewise, the higher the voltage the higher the torque required.

You might also want to look into the trigger. A pressure-sensitive trigger is used to adjust the speed of a cordless drill at any given range. A trigger is important in decreasing the speed to prevent breaking and stripping as the screw head reaches the wood. The trigger controls the force applied on the working surface, to control the size of the hole being bored.

These cordless tools are the most common because of its multifaceted functions. They can act as drilling holes and screwdrivers as well. It has flexible clutches for easier use.

Cordless hammer drill/drivers can be used in cements and bricks due to its power. They feature a special design clutches that function like a jackhammer while turning.

Cordless impact drivers are ideal to drive larger screws usually in building construction. These are resistant-sensitive tools. Its torque power is automatically changed to avoid the bit from slipping out of the screw head.

And because it is cordless, these drills are easy to carry around everywhere and anywhere. The user is not hassled with finding power outlets. And without cords also, working with it is more liberating.
